Well its a quick change from Autumn to Christmas with the First Christmas card of September!
This looks like a complex card but its quite easy to replicate honest lol. I stared by covering a piece of card with CE double sided adhesive sheet. Next I cut 2 circles out using the outline die form the Joy die. I adhered one to the other then ran this through my Platinum using the Joy insert die. By having 2 pieces stuck together the die doesn't cut through it just cuts the carrier sheet of the adhesive.
For the bauble tops I cut the top piece form the Sue Wilson Vintage bauble set ( One of the early Festive Dies) I then attached gold metallic linx to simulate the strings.
The white die cuts I shaded using gold treasure Metallic gilding polish. I then arranged these on top filling out the branch look.
Sue Wilson will be demoing a similar technique on her Festive Die shows on Hochanda this month so tune in to see this in action.
Enjoy...

Hi John and crafters all,
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely card, so different from normal cards. The cut out holly leaves cut into the card give such an instance of depth. Nice idea using the metallic linx for the bauble cords.

ReplyDeleteHi John, a truly inspired card today. I have read your instructions but am still not too sure. I will have to read them again and try to make it at the same time. Failing that I will just have to make sure I watch Sue on TV (not that I need an excuse to watch her)
